That about sums up my fleeting moments of happy, Journeyer, noticing the warmth of the sun, the colors of the morning sky, the birds, the floating leaves, the much-needed rains, and a new carport that makes me smile every single morning because I don’t have to scrape frost from my windshields in the pre-dawn hours when I leave home for my “other job.”

Talk about stress.
